About Us

Founded in 1916, Palma Ceia is Tampa's premier golf and country club, offering the best of what the sport has to offer combined with the rich tradition that is Tampa's oldest private golf club.

Our offerings include a golf course that has been graced by the presence of some of golf’s greatest players – among them Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Walter Hagen and Babe Zaharias. Since 1956, Palma Ceia has played host to the Gasparilla Invitational, one of the most prestigious national amateur golf tournaments in the United States.

While our focus is golf, Palma Ceia has excellent recreational facilities that appeal to every member of the family. Our fitness center, Olympic-sized swimming pool, clay tennis courts and multiple food and beverage offerings, combined with a year-round social calendar, make Palma Ceia the ideal private golf and country club.

In 2009, Palma Ceia renovated the south building bringing to its membership a new golf pro shop, fitness facility, extended pool deck, and a beautiful structure that will make every members experience at Palma Ceia one to remember.

In 2012, Palma Ceia renovated its golf course with the help of acclaimed Golf Course architect Bobby Weed.

In 2014, Palma Ceia renovated its casual dining facility providing the membership with a traditional family dining experience with a modern twist.
